Asbestos garage roof removal near Ashurst Bridge
Asbestos garage roof removal for Ashurst Bridge properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Whether it’s double garages and carport roofs, we cover corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and ridge pieces and more.
In a village like Ashurst Bridge, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Ashurst Bridge
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near Totton station?
Yes, we cover Ashurst Bridge and the area towards Totton station, about 1.5 miles east.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
